the Miller building to be used for the two schools
proposed to be sent to the old Mary Hall house. We
do not need any other building than the Miller at
this time
II the Commissioners will authorize us to say to
the citizens that the Mary Hall house Will not be

Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR.
LONDON, Dec. 29.-At the very moment OF Glad
stone going away, the decision OF the government
TO abate rents in Ireland affords considerable
Justlcation for the policy Of Gladstone. The sup
porters OF the government previously declared that
reductions We're not necessary and would be dis
honest. The new policy has fallen like a thunder
bolt on the landlords who openly declare that
their friend Salisbury is worse than their enemy
Gladstone. The effect will be to take about
$1,000, 600 yearly from the pockets OF the land
lords, who allege that their real property is now
absolutely unstable. The government undoubt-
edly possesses power to make such abatements
under their land act, but It was thought the en-
abling clause was inserted for appearance-sake,
and not to be used: and hence Will. iI would have
provoked angry discussion II proposed by lib
eral government, 1t passed almost unnotced, COM
ing from government known TO be In sympathy
with the Landlords. The action OF the government
Is acknowledged by imp lrtial men TO be just and
benefcent, but has brought them more abuse
than the Snost arbitrary proceedings OF arresJing
and imprfsoning political opponents. Nor are the
nationalists satisfied. Dillon admits that the step
isin the right direction, but says 1t is quit tndde
Quate. Salisbury's position is, indeed, unenviabe.

LETTER TO PAY INSPECTOR STEVENSON BY rHB
COURT.
Frank Canfleld, q former clerk In the Steam En-

before the court OF inquiry which is Investigating
alleged irregularities In the navy-yard. Being
asked by the 1udge-advocate to tell what he knew
about the removal OF lumber from the navy.yard
by Pay Inspector Stevenson or any one else he
said:
"a few days after the auction sale and short
time after Carpenter Ward had been detached
from the yard, Mr.. Stevenson said to me In his

tached, and he may make trouble for me, as he

TO get q bill Of sale for 1t from some contractor
and In this way clear that up was much sur
prise when heard the pay-tnSpector talk In this
manner, and can account for 1t only from the fact
that he supposed Ward had told me the story"
Mr.. stevenson did not appear to crOss-examine
the witness, but he sent communication request
ing that the witness be recalled. To this the
court sent sharp reply, that as Canfled had been
examined twice, and as Mr.. Stevenson had had q
full opportunity TO examine him and had not done
purpose OF correcting his testimony. ''1t was not
contemplated" concludes the message to the pay
Inspector, "by the Hon. Secretary OF the Navy,
nor is IL permissible that you while absenting
yourself from the sittngs OF the court, In any way
or manner interfere, or attempt to interfere, with
It's proceedings"
on receiving this message Mr. stevenson hurried
to the court and crOSS-eXam1ned Can1eld, but
